As we approach another contentious election season, many congregational members will begin discussing what faithfulness looks like at the ballot box. Instead of asking the questions, “Who should we vote for?” or “What policies should we support?” this event will address the practices and habits that can shape us into the kind of individuals capable of engaging faithfully in our political world without losing our souls.
This workshop will be offered twice to offer the most scheduling flexibility for attendees. Attendees do not need to attend both sessions.
Workshop(s) are listed in Eastern Standard Time (EST)
